Sport e Salute has carried out an important project to give the public the most immersive experience possible, integrating sport with the power of a place full of history, as also emerges from the new SuperTennis Arena
Innovation and perspective, without losing sight of history and memory. With this vision, the Internazionali d’Italia continues its path of evolution, with the aim of giving spectators an increasingly immersive experience. The 21 courts (19 at the Foro Italico and 2 on the Lungotevere) become the physical story of this growth, organized around three identity poles: the Central, heart and symbol of the tennis Foro Italico, the Grand Stand Arena, completely redesigned, and the new SuperTennis Arena, with its progressively developed polygonal architecture, designed to bring the public ever closer to the game, to the point of making them feel part of the action.

“The path generates the form is the principle that guides this process. Every line, every space, every choice arises from the encounter between place and event. The place is history, architecture, landscape, light, beauty. The event is sharing, energy, inclusion. It is in the union of these elements that something authentic is built, capable of enhancing each part through the other. The project is shaped by the context, absorbs its identity and returns it in an expressive, harmonious and dynamic form. A deliberately heterogeneous intervention, which it does not impose itself and does not invade, but dialogues. Which does not force, but accompanies. Because true innovation is not breaking the balance, but elevating it. A unique scenario that does not simply host, but evolves, welcomes and projects beyond, becoming a reference for what is to come”, explains the CEO of Sport and Health, Diego Nepi Molineris. And the president Marco Mezzaroma: “We are custodians of an extraordinary place and this awareness is the starting point of every intervention we carry out at the Foro Italico. The project for the new site of the Internazionali confirms our vision of the Forum as a living monument, accessible and capable of adapting to various needs, combining the excellence of sport and major events with the beauty of Rome”.
